"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Hollywood Getting Red-Pilled?

Maybe you never heard of Sara Foster, but she is Hollywood royalty. Her father is David Foster, who came to Hollywood as the keyboardist in a Canadian pop band, became a studio musician, then a songwriter and producer, and is responsible for some of the biggest hit songs ever. Because her father has been married […]

His Ex-Girlfriend Was Driving the Bus

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation operates a fleet of buses called DASH (Downtown Area Short Hop). Two days before Thanksgiving, 911 received a call that one of the DASH buses was being followed by an armed man driving a white Maserati. The caller told the 911 dispatcher there was a “domestic dispute” between the […]

Vindicated: Britain’s ‘Grooming Gangs’ Finally Get the Attention They Deserve

Because Elon Musk decided to remind people of the role that Britain’s Labour Party played in the “grooming gang” scandal, suddenly millions of people who never knew about the scandal — particularly in the United States — are talking about this as if it were breaking news.
